Woburn Fire Damages Apartment Building

WOBURN, MA — The Massachusetts Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of a two-alarm fire that damaged three townhouses at the Tudor Glen Village Apartments complex on Locust Street in Woburn Sunday. The fire was reported around 8:20 p.m. Sunday and had been put out 8:52 p.m., according to scanner reports. Efforts to fight the fire were hampered by water problems caused by dead fire hydrants in the complex.

The fire started in a shed behind one of the units and spread to the main building before spreading to adjacent townhouses. Patch has asked Woburn fire officials for more details and will update this story when we hear back from them.

In a Facebook post, the Woburn School Committee said several families with children at the Reeves Elementary School had been displaced by the fire. The school system is taking donations at Reeves Elementary starting Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will also set up an after-hours donation spot.
